Zero Tolerance? Poem by Sheshu Babu

Zero Tolerance?



A kid
Who knew nothing except rote
Mugging up of scriptures
Went to play
In a ground
Was brutally beaten and murdered
By kids of his own age...

A kid
Succumbed to communal rage
Instilled by elders
Who had no other motive except
Spewing hate....

Is this the beginning
Of zero tolerance? ?
Is this the age
Where innocent children
Become lambs to the slaughter?
Is this the end
Of humanity...?
